Deadlink was a game that I covered in October 2022. I scored it a 7/10, and I summarised my thoughts accordingly. “Overall, Deadlink is an incredible title. It’s tough, enjoyable, addictive and wonderfully casual as well. However, the performance issues undermine all this potential. Consequently, it needs some refining to get the best out of it. Yet, as it is, I love it and I recommend you buy it! Can you pilot the combat shell and master each situation? Upgrade your equipment, know your foes, and survive for as long as possible.“
Since my review, 2.6K+ very positive reviews have been logged on Steam. Accordingly, I am proud to announce that Crunching Koalas are bringing this excellent game to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, on July 30th 2024. The PS5 version will support DualSense and both versions will have 4K resolution and a steady 60 fps. Furthermore, there is a new game mode to enhance replay value and longevity.

Get ready to put a sizeable dent in the profits of megacorporations in Deadlink, a guns-blazing cyberpunk FPS with rogue-lite elements. Your mission is to conduct covert ops while piloting a humanoid combat shell. And no, “covert” doesn’t mean “quiet.”
ABOUT THIS GAME.
Deadlink is a cyberpunk FPS with rogue-lite elements. You’re an elite operative recruited to the experimental Deadlink project. Pilot an autonomous combat shell, fighting your way through cramped slums, twisted labs, grimy warehouses, and sleek office buildings on a mission to thwart the schemes of the most powerful corporations in the world. Wield a deadly arsenal, upgrade your skills and tech, devastate destructible environments, and slash corporate profit margins — all at the same time.
You are the Corporate Security Agency’s greatest weapon, and it’s your job to make sure the corporations and their shady deals are anything but secure. With the team at HQ backing you up, you’re tossed head-first into the fray, where a military operation with plausible deniability can fix things for a fraction of the cost of a hopeless court case. Every randomised run will be different, but one thing never changes: you will be outnumbered. Get ready to think on your feet as you dash, jump, and use the environment to your advantage. You can’t still, not even for a second.

Not long to wait.
Patience is a virtue, but thankfully, you will not have to wait for long to get your hands on this game. This fantastic cyberpunk experience is fast-paced, cruel, and challenging. Additionally, its random nature will keep you coming back for more. Subsequently, why not head here for some more information?
